IVILLIAM T. SCHUBERTH, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

SOAP-PRESS.

EPECIPICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 339,936, dated April 13, 1886.

Application filed September 15, 1885. Serial No. 177,149. No model.)'

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, \VILLIAM T. SCHU- BERTH, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Soap-Presses, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to certain improvements in soap-presses.

The object of the invention is to so constru t the die-box that it will under all circumstances and under any suitable pressure retain its original and proper form.

To the accomplishment of the above, the invention consists in forming the box of a suitably hard material which will not give under the pressure, and in lining the bore of such box with a ring of suitable material, into which the acids of the compound will not eat.

Reference will be made to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a sectional View showing the different parts of the press, and Fig. 2 a top plan of the box.

Like letters refer to like parts in each View.

A represents the die-box, provided with suitable slotted or perforated lugs, B, through which suitable bolts may be passed to hold it in position. This box is made of some material which will not give under the pressure applied to the plunger which is to move in it, as will be described, and I prefer to form it of castiron.

C represents a ring which is situated in the bore of box A, such ring being formed of some material which will not be affected by the ac tion of the acids contained in the soap compound, and I prefer to use brass for this ring.

By the combination of the cast-iron box and the brass ring all the disadvantages which would arise from the use of either alone are avoided and a perfect box obtained.

In the drawings, D represents the plunger, E the follower, and F the soap. All parts of the press may be of any suitable construction, my invention relating to the box only.

The operation is the same as in the ordinary soap-press, and need not therefore be given in detail.

That I claim is- In a soap-press, the combination, with a cast-iron die-box, of a brass ring situated in the bore of the same, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

WVM. T. SCHUBERTH.
